Chapter 41 Reactions from all parties

"The widow's son actually died in his own mansion, and no one saw the murderer..."

"Where's the patrol camp? Where's the imperial army? What do they eat!"

Early in the morning, Ming Zhengyuan received the news of Ming Yun's death.

This first made him stunned, and then he became furious!

You know, Ming Yun was someone he favored and someone he supported privately, but now he died in his own mansion.

How could he accept this?

The entire hall was as silent as a cicada.

All the officials stood there, sweating profusely and afraid to speak.

"Investigate! Investigate it for me, the Ministry of Punishments, the Royal Yamen, or even seek help from Jianghu forces, no matter what method you use! Go and investigate it for me!"

"I must catch this murderer!"

Ming Zhengyuan's eyes were red.

Then he drank all the officials away.

He was the only one left in the entire hall. Gradually, he regained his composure, and with a whoosh, a shadow guard appeared in front of him.

The other party knelt on the ground and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the background of the deceased has been basically investigated. Except for the fourth prince, the others are basically members of the Holy Fire Cult, including the leader and several guardians..."

"Not only that, according to the report of the dead shadow guard, before the fourth prince died last night, he sent the White-browed Eagle King to Yanfu..."

Ming Zhengyuan calmly listened to the shadow guard's words and said coldly: "If you put it this way, the death of the fourth prince has nothing to do with Xiao Qi. It was the mysterious master behind Xiao Qi who took action! You are so bold if you dare to kill the prince.

!”

He clenched his fists and wanted to send someone to arrest Ming Buyan.

In this way, we might be able to attract the mysterious master to show up.

But the shadow guard's next words made him give up this idea.

"Your Majesty, the strength of this mysterious master is very terrifying. Judging from the injuries of the Holy Fire Cult Master and several other innate masters, they were basically killed by... one move." The tone of the shadow guard was already a bit fearful.

A master can kill Xiantian with one move.

But even a great master may not be able to kill a master with one move.

The strength of the person who took action has made the shadow guard feel incredible.

After Ming Zhengyuan finished listening, his pupils couldn't help but tremble slightly. It took him a while to calm down, and he slumped on the dragon chair with some weakness.

"You go down first."

"yes."

The shadow guard left immediately.

Ming Zhengyuan tapped the armrest of the dragon chair unconsciously with his fingers. He didn't know what he was thinking, "If the fourth child dies, who will the throne be passed on to? The deposed prince? Or the second prince Minglong, or you... Mingwuyan."

He was leaning towards Ming Yun before.

Let the crown prince and the second prince fight with each other to pave the way for Ming Yun.

But now, the prince is dead and Ming Yun is dead.

It seems that only Minglong is a more suitable choice.

But who knows what the mysterious grand master behind Ming Buyan is thinking. Does he want Ming Buyan to ascend the throne, or will he also kill Minglong?

"We must find time to meet with the mysterious grand master. Wait, wait a few more years, and wait until the elixir is refined..."

Ming Zhengyuan murmured.

…………

The Second Prince's Mansion.

After Minglong learned the news of Mingyun's death, his face lit up, "Haha, the prince is deposed and Mingyun is dead. Who else can compete with me for the throne?"

"Your Highness, I heard that several shadow guards were found in the fourth prince's residence."

Xiao Que suddenly said.

Hearing this, Minglong's face gradually darkened, "Sure enough, my intuition is right. I always feel that my father has been supporting the fourth child intentionally or unintentionally over the years. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Otherwise, he would not have sent

The shadow guard is following him. My father used the fight between me and the former prince to pave the way for the fourth son. Humph, it was such a good plan. Unfortunately, Ming Yun is dead."

At the end of the sentence, a smile appeared on his face again.

He didn't care what he was like before or what Ming Zhengyuan was planning.

But now, he, the prince, is the only one in the imperial court. If nothing happens, the throne will fall to him sooner or later.

…………

Qunfang Pavilion.

Sister Fang sat alone by the window, looking at the busy traffic below, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. A girl came up to her and said, "Sister Fang, we have distributed the severance pay to all the sisters."

"Well, okay, let them find a good family."

"Sister Fang, we are all in the dust and are despised by others. How can any good family be willing to accept us? Qunfang Pavilion has been well organized under your management over the years. It is your hard work. Why should it be disbanded?

"

The girl was a little confused.

"If we don't disband, it will be too late."

Sister Fang murmured.

She has received the news that her master has been released from seclusion. In the past few years, she has been obedient to the fourth prince, and Chi Feng will not let her go.

After she dies, no one will save Qunfang Pavilion.

What the Fourth Prince and Chi Fengzhi might do to Qunfang Pavilion.

Rather than putting the girls in danger of party strife, it would be better to give them some severance pay so that they can leave the capital and live their own lives.

at this time.

Honglian rushed into Qunfang Pavilion with a panicked expression.

"Senior sister, the fourth prince is dead!"

Sister Fang was stunned, "What?"

"Not only the fourth prince, but also the master, the master is also dead!"

Seeing that Sister Fang was still stunned, Honglian said anxiously, "It's true."

"What's going on?" Sister Fang asked.

Guren took a deep breath and explained the matter briefly.

After mentioning Chi Feng's death, her tone became a little turbulent, and her eyes were a little complicated, as if she was sad but also relieved.

Sister Fang is the same.

Although Chifeng didn't have much affection for them, they were raised by each other anyway, and they were taught martial arts by each other.

Although it was only used as a pawn in the party struggle.

But they still had a little respect for each other in their hearts, and now that they heard that he was dead, their emotions were a little complicated.

"Senior sister, the Fourth Prince and Master are dead, and we are free."

Honglian said calmly.

Next to her, the girl didn't know what happened specifically, but she was vaguely aware that whether she and others left had something to do with it.

So she asked weakly: "Sister Fang, do we still need to leave?"

"Tell the sisters, those who want to leave can leave, and those who want to stay, I also welcome them." Sister Fang said with a faint smile.

"I'm going to tell the sisters..."

In the end, except for a few girls with families in Qunfang Pavilion, most of the others were either sold here and were completely disappointed with the world, or they were orphans without fathers and mothers, so they chose to stay in Qunfang Pavilion.

Looking at the girls who were beaming with joy because they could continue to stay, Sister Fang also had a heartfelt smile on her face.

She knew she was about to start a new life.

But there was a trace of doubt in her heart.

Who is so capable that he killed the fourth prince and Chi Feng?

"Senior sister, now that the master has died in the royal capital, thousands of members of the Holy Fire Sect may fall into chaos. I want to go back and take charge of the overall situation first."

Honglian said to Sister Fang.

She is a saint of the Holy Fire Cult, and she should stand up at this time.

"Be careful. If you need help, come to me in the capital. Qunfang Pavilion will always open the door to you." Sister Fang said.
